"Arsenal didn't just 'marshal' Harry Kane for 90 minutes, they made him a very expensive spectator. Even the ball seemed to be avoiding him."

"To keep Harry Kane on the pitch for 90 minutes without even a single attempt is no small achievement.
"They completely shut him out and controlled the spaces he usually thrives in. Solid defensive work."
@Cognonimous added:
"Saliba and Mosquera followed him like security guards. Even when he dropped deep, Saliba was right there with him like a trusted friend. He couldn’t breathe. 😭."
@OluwasegunSam said:
"There's was a particular play in the second half where Mosquera literally chased Kane back to his own box 😄 to ensure he didn't receive the ball and turn."
